Haarlem, Thursday, 20 November 2025.
The DigiC program in Noord-Holland unites entrepreneurs and major construction entities to promote sustainable building practices through digital technologies, addressing regional construction challenges with innovative solutions.
Collaborative Efforts for Circular Construction
The DigiC program, initiated by ROM InWest, is actively advancing sustainable building innovation in Noord-Holland by integrating digital technology with circular construction practices. The program’s approach focuses on uniting innovative entrepreneurs with large construction firms, municipalities, and provincial authorities to tackle the region’s significant construction challenges. This collaborative effort is facilitated by digital tools that aim to minimize waste and enhance resource efficiency, thereby contributing to the broader goals of sustainable development [1].
Empowering Entrepreneurs
DigiC provides a platform for entrepreneurs to test and implement their innovations in real-world settings, thus accelerating the adoption of cutting-edge solutions in the construction industry. Notable participants include Planalogic, Packhunt, and BIM Projects, which have developed technologies to optimize building designs and maintenance processes, reducing materials waste and environmental impact. This initiative not only delivers practical solutions but also opens up new business opportunities for startups and scale-ups involved in the program [1].
Driving Regional Development
The program has been instrumental in fostering a robust ecosystem for sustainable building practices in Noord-Holland. By facilitating market innovation days and matchmaking events, DigiC encourages the exchange of ideas and the formation of partnerships that are crucial for advancing circular construction. These events provide a platform for discussing challenges such as circular renovation within CO2 constraints, thereby encouraging the construction sector to adopt more environmentally friendly practices [1].
Future Prospects and Impact
Looking ahead, DigiC aims to expand its influence by helping entrepreneurs scale their innovations, thereby increasing the impact on the Noord-Holland region. The program’s success is measured by its ability to enable businesses to execute their innovative solutions on a larger scale, which in turn enhances the visibility and efficacy of sustainable building practices. This aligns with the program’s mission to create a more sustainable future for the construction industry by leveraging digital and circular solutions [1].
